What happened

Acme United Corporation is recalling PhysiciansCare brand over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers because their packaging does not meet child-resistant packaging requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recalled products contain aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen and are sold in cardboard boxes containing 50, 100, 250, or 500 tablets. The non-child-resistant packaging poses a risk of poisoning if young children swallow the contents.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Acme United for information on how to dispose of or return the product and receive a full refund. Acme United states it is contacting all purchasers directly.
